It adds the temperature display back to the main titlebar. That was the missing feature that caused gnashing of teeth of hundreds of people on this forum who were going to die if they had to tell the passenger the temperature.


Tens of people spoke up as computer expert geeks who could have easily fixed it and were under dire circumstances. Doesnt make sense though because computer geeks don't usually have passengers.

Yeah, this completely baffles me. I've seen Jaclyn respond to other threads since this all started but she is apparently avoiding this thread like the plague. When they had to remove the first update from SMR they made an announcement with regard to the fact. At least that was some form of acknowledgement of an issue. This update just quietly disappeared followed by absolute silence.

I IM'd her and got no response. I think they didn't say anything on SMR so that owners of other vehicles(non-Focus) that have updated or aren't aware of it, weren't alerted to the issue.

Does this mean that other features beyond Climate are also broken on installations of v3.2.2 on different cars? Sheesh.

I checked last night and I do appear to have the space bar back. Installed three days ago. Let's see if it lasts.

Got a call from my Ford dealer. They told me they have a fix for the climate issue. I am bringing in my car on Monday.

So you can download and update, install it, have it screw up your car and then get to make a trip to the dealer to get it fixed.

How cool it that!

And so inconvienient.

I know. They didn't push it out to the general public yet because I guess they need feedback from the dealers. I could have installed it. Not a big deal for me. As long as it gets fixed. I just hope it doesn't break anything else.

Well, it will be interesting to hear how you make out. Be sure to post back with your results and any other info you may be able to get from the dealer as to why this might have happened.

Well, took the risk and installed the new 3.2.2 update downloaded from the syncmyride website a few days ago (before they pulled it off for the second time). Wasn't sure what would happen on the Escape since MFT is the same as the Focus, but I didn't have a problem with the climate quadrant. Not sure what was truely fixed in this update, but the exterior temperature display is now back. All was well for 2 days but I should of known it was short lived. Thought I was making excellent time on my hour drive to work this morning, then I thought I should check my cell phone for the time. Son of a b*. POS system still cant keep time correctly. It was logging half the time, advanced 30 minutes for an hour drive. What a complete and utter joke this system is.

Ford --- after 3 years of this agonizing process of failed updates, it's time to throw in the gloves and start over. It's become a disgrace to the company and your customers.
